Master Kong Zhongni

Chapter 265 Three to Seven Teachings
In the Qufu Palace, Marquis Lu looked at the doctors standing in the hall, and didn't know whether he should speak or not.

In the past few days, the various ministers have been arguing endlessly over whether they should attack Zhuanyu or not.

Among the three Huan, Ji Sunsi returned to the ruling position. Because he was eager to establish his prestige, he had the most active attitude towards the crusade against Zhuanyu.

The Meng family didn't lose much in the civil strife, so they were happy to follow Ji's ass to get a share of the pie.

But the Shusun family was severely injured in the civil strife in Qufu, and the patriarch, Shusun Zhouchou, was almost executed on the spot by Gong Lian's "Russian rescue".

Therefore, Uncle Sun chose to remain silent on this issue, and gave up the stage to Ji and Meng, and just watched them perform.

It stands to reason that San Huan has this attitude, and this matter will probably be settled.

But no one expected that Confucius would react so strongly to the crusade against Zhuanyu.

He counted the classics in the court, one by one, he criticized the injustice of Sanhuan who advocated the crusade against Zhuanyu.

The day before yesterday, the master cited Shennong Pobu Sui Yi Daren in ancient times, and Huangdi defeated Chi You Yi Dagong.

Yesterday, I also talked about the deeds of Yao's attack on Huandou, Shun's attack on Youmiao, and Qi's attack on Youhu in ancient times.

Ji Sunsi and the others thought that the master would die today.

Who knew that today he started discussing the great achievements of Tang Fayouxia and King Wen Fachong in the Middle Ages.

The master stood at the bottom of the steps, his beard trembled when he spoke of excitement.

"Yao conquered Huandou, Shun conquered Sanmiao, Yu conquered Gonggong, Tang conquered Xia Jie, King Wen conquered Chongguo, and King Wu conquered Shang Zhou. Those two emperors and seven kings galloped across the sky with armies of benevolence and righteousness.

It is said in "Poetry": A gentleman who is a gentleman, his appearance is Intuit, and his appearance is Intuit, which is exactly the seven kingdoms.

A gentleman with a vicious character has a dignified appearance.A dignified appearance is out of shape, and all countries regard me as a model image.

That's what it said!

Qiu heard that the so-called Tao is used to manifest virtue.The so-called virtue is used to respect morality.

Therefore, whether there is virtue or not, morality can be respected.Whether there is morality or not, virtue can also be carried forward.

Even without the best horse in the country, if it is used and ridden in the right way, it is possible to run down the road.

Even if a country does not have vast land and few people, if the monarch governs in the right way, it is possible to become a hegemon or achieve a king's career.

Therefore, the ancient sage monarchs practiced "one teaching" inside and "eight to" inside.

Once the 'teaching' is completed, the country can be defended.

"Eight to" is implemented, and the enemy in the area can be conquered.

The way of governing the country of the sage king, defending the country, will surely defeat the enemy thousands of miles away.Conquering the inside will definitely be able to win and return to the court.

One teacher, respecting the elderly, respecting teeth, giving charity, being close to the virtuous, loving virtue, hating greed, and being honest.

People in the lower ranks respect the elderly, so that the people in the upper class will obey the filial piety more.

People in the lower ranks respect those who are older than themselves, and the people in the upper class will respect and love their elder brothers even more.

People in the lower ranks are willing to do good, and the people in the upper ranks will be more narrow-minded.

If the inferior person is close to the virtuous, the common people will choose good friends and make friends with them.

People in lower positions pay attention to moral cultivation, and ordinary people will conceal their views.

Those in the lower position hate greedy behavior, and the people will be ashamed of fighting for profit.

People in lower positions emphasize honesty and humility, and the common people will be ashamed of it.

Anyone who occupies a lower position is an example for the common people. What is righteousness without an example?
The example is righteous, and even the land that is no longer there is kept and lived, so what is the crusade against Zhuanyu?

The eight perfections are the ultimate gift, the ultimate reward, and the ultimate joy.

The ultimate courtesy is letting go and the heaven governs, the ultimate reward is spending and the heavenly people are happy, the ultimate joy is sound and the heavenly people are in harmony.

The lowest level of etiquette is to be humble, and heaven will naturally be governed.

The lowest level of reward is to spend property, and the talented people in the sky will be happy.

If there is no sound in the lowest level of music, the people of the Li people will live in harmony.

One teaching is cultivation, then the eight perfections are practice, and the eight perfections are practice, then..."

Before Zaiyu finished speaking, Meng Sunhe was already blushing and his neck was thick.

I got up and said, "Confucius, I'm afraid that's what he said. If it is said that humility is the best courtesy, property is the best reward, and there is no sound in the best joy, there are too few countries that can do that." Now, can we all win the battle?"

As soon as Han Qianwu finished speaking, Sun Zhou Qiuji, who was sitting beside me, quickly grabbed my clothes and read a few words loudly.

"Ji Zi, don't say it, don't say it...to be reasonable, you are arguing that you have passed the master..."

After all, Sun Zhou Qiuji was also a student of the master, and he knew that the gentleman who taught Qin Jin and Zi Gong was able to move his hands, but even more so with his words.

Meng Sunhe went to trouble me, this is simply Peng Zu eating arsenic-tired of life.

Sure enough, as soon as Meng Sunhe's words fell, the master's continuous cannonball came.

"You have misinterpreted your words. The greatest courtesy is not arrogant, the greatest reward is not stingy, and the greatest joy is not meanness.

The ancient sages must know the names of all the virtuous and virtuous people in the sky, but they only know our names, our actual talents, and where we live, and then give us the title of heaven to make us honored .

That way is the lowest etiquette, so it is humility and can make heaven governed.

It is the lowest reward to use the heavenly position to make the heavenly scholars rich and honored. It is a waste of property and the heavenly scholars will be unhappy.

In this way, the heavenly people will pay attention to maintaining reputation and cultivating talents, that is, whether the most beautiful music has a voice to make the people harmonious.

Therefore, it is said that the most benevolent person in the sky can be close to the closest relatives in the sky.

The wisest man in heaven can use the peacemaker in heaven.

The wisest person in the sky can appoint the most virtuous person in the sky.

Those eight aspects have been achieved, and then you can conquer inside.

Therefore, the benevolent is to love the people, the wise is to know the sages, and the ruler is to select the virtuous.

A monarch with no land can do those eight things, so that people in the sky can share their fate with me.

A country conquered by a wise monarch must be a country where rituals and laws are abolished.

So to kill our monarch to change the politics of that country, to appease the people of that country is to plunder our property.

Therefore, the political and religious conquests of a sage monarch are like timely rain. Once it rains, the people will be happy.

Therefore, the wider the scope of my enlightenment, the fewer people will be attached to me. This is the reason why the army can win the battle and return to the court.

Now, your country rewards scholars because it is willing to give out land and honors, and the talents of your country are appointed, and the people value the cultivation of morality and talent.

In that case, should he insist on attacking Zhuanyu? "

"you……"

Meng Sunhe was so pissed off that he almost stood there on the spot.

Sun Zhou Qiuji hurriedly came down to smooth things over: "Then... You see, the results of today's discussion have come to fruition. Let's talk about other issues first, shall we?"

And Sunzhou Qiuji's brother, Nan Gong, who is also a student of Han Qian, said that seeing the situation was wonderful, so he also came down to help.

"Zhuanyu is strong, but your country is weak. The crusade against Zhuanyu can be done at any time, and it can be delayed for a while. Is it like attacking Yangguan first, and then discussing Zhuanyu's issue before the Yangguan is over?"

Mrs. Meng was about to agree, but at that time, the minister who was waiting in the palace suddenly retreated to report back.

"Your Majesty, Uncle Sima Ji Sunsi is driving in a chariot to ask for a visit."

"The granduncle is here?" Meng said in amazement, "The granduncle is still recovering from his injuries. Is he recuperating at home? My widow has already promised me that I must enter the imperial court today. Why did I come to see you suddenly?"

The minister listened, but just returned: "Uncle and grandson said, I was ordered by your lord to rest at home. But after all, I am a young Sima of the Lu Kingdom, and the country is about to use troops. How dare I abandon my duties and participate in it?
Therefore, even if it is possible to disobey the order of the monarch and risk the safety of your anger, I must visit you later and give you my advice on the war. "

"Retirement advice?"

All the people in the hall were top-notch, and the little guy's expression changed more or less when he heard that.

As Uncle Han Qianwu said, he picked himself up completely, as if I later knew that Mrs. Sun was going to attack Zhuanyu.

It is true that Uncle Sunsi did not go to court for several days because of his injuries, but that means that I have become blind.

With Uncle Hanqian's influence in Lu State, even if I thought it would be difficult for me to know what happened under the court.

Besides, Han Qian and Confucius were so arrogant that they would do everything after discussing with Shu Luhou.

Uncle Han Qianwu has been absent from the court meeting one after another. These young husbands who were born in Shu Luhou, or who have always been friends with uncles and grandsons, all say what they say, which already shows my attitude-I acquiesce.

Now that I have acquiesced, why did I come here to court today?

Under the court, Xiaojia looked at you and looked at him, and he came to the same answer by heart - Shu Luhou's position changed.

Moreover, Shu Jisunsi made a special trip there in person, which means that I have only repented, and I will also take a clear stand in the position of approving the crusade against Zhuanyu.

Mrs. Meng also saw the way, so I asked a question.

"Is the uncle and grandson here alone?"

The minister reported back: "The little traveler Qin Jin has just returned to Qufu, and I arrived at the same time as Uncle Jisunsi."

Zaizi, did you make a move?

As soon as he heard the seven characters of Qin and Jin, there was a hint of suspicion on the face of many young men.

Even Meng Sunhe couldn't hold back his voice and discussed with Sunzhou Qiuji beside him.

"Did Xiaofu Tuqiu notify him in advance?"

Sunzhou Qiuji was also caught off guard: "Then... I have been in Tuqiu for a few days, and you have never met me before!"

"I'm here with my uncle and grandson at this time, so I intend to approve of it?"

Sunzhou Qiuji felt his scalp go numb, and I said loudly, "Let's see the situation first. Zaizi, you are such an easygoing figure to Confucius, if I express my approval with my uncle and grandson..."

Meng Sunhe also understood what Han Qianwuji meant.

Although Qin Jin has been a husband for a long time, and even later than Zai Yu in the second half of the year, the influence of the seven on the political situation of Lu State is in one dimension.

Although Zai Yu can influence people's opinions to a certain extent, when I was promoted to husband, Yang Hu still saved a hand.

Yang Hu also knew that Han Qian was easy to control, so although Han Qian was awarded the title, he was not given a fief, but part of the fields and millet in the suburbs of Qufu were used as rewards.

In addition, Zaiyu is a big uncle, and his scope of authority is limited to the basic necessities of the office, so he can only be regarded as a representative of public opinion at best.

But Qin Jin is the same.

Qin Jin was highly valued by Yang Hu, so as soon as he was granted the throne, he got Tuqiu as a fief, and my Xiaojia didn't see it when I worked hard in Tuqiu for two years.

Besides, the ministers of the Lu Kingdom have no amnesia. Tuqiu soldiers have just completed a "general military operation" in Qufu, and made great contributions to expel Yanghu. Does anyone dare to underestimate the actions of that weak army? can play a role.

In addition, the leader of the army is another rumored to be the reincarnation of Qianyi, who has been entrusted by the Yellow Emperor in a dream, and can attract fog and control the weather.

Qin Jin approves, and Uncle Jisunsi intends to support me...

As for the superior, Meng Sunhe had to weigh it carefully.

For the sake of Zhuanyu, offended Qin Jin, is it worth it?
Before the Qin and Jin people arrived, Meng Sunhe was already terrified.

When I came back to my senses, Meng Sunhe raised his eyes and saw that Shuji Sunsi had come under the court together with Qin Jin.

It's just that it's important to look at it, but when I look at it, I'm confused immediately.

"Huh? What does that mean?"

I saw the seven young men carefully put on the stretcher under the shoulders, and suddenly their faces turned red, their eyes were half-opened and half-closed, and their breaths were loose, as if they were Uncle Jisunsi who was about to die.

Seeing this, all the young men hurriedly got up and asked: "Uncle and grandson, if you want to go back and rest."

Mrs. Meng was also taken aback by Uncle Jisunsi's appearance, and I repeatedly said with concern: "Uncle Sunzi loves the country and the people, and he should also love his own body.

Whether his injury is clear enough, if there is nothing to say, is it enough to send someone to the palace to convey it to the widow?Why do you need to do that! "

Zai Yu originally wanted to say a few words of concern, but when I came out, I saw Qin Jin standing next to Uncle Jisunsi with his head raised and his shoulders still twitching.

After all, Qin Jin is Zaiyu's student who taught young people, because he is a local. When Han Qian first came to Qufu, he lived in Zaiyu's house.

The master knew exactly what Qin Jin looked like when he was unhappy, and what his expression was when he was playing tricks.

Qin Jin's performance, combined with Uncle Han Qianwu who was lying on the ground watching him half-dead, Zai Yu felt that he seemed to understand what the eldest son was doing.

Qin Jin stepped into the line with his head high, walked to the side of the master and just stood still when he heard an unfamiliar warm voice ringing in my ears.

"Yu! It seems that when you told them 'Zhu Zhiwu entered Qin Shi', he was overheard."

Qin Jin trembled when he heard the words, and I hurriedly replied loudly: "How could that be, Master, did you teach me?!"

When Zaiyu heard this, there was a smile in the corner of his eyes, he gave me a deep look, and immediately raised his head to speak again.

Back then, Jin State united with Qin State to crusade against Zheng State. The key reason why Zheng State's young husband Zhu Zhiwu was able to persuade Duke Mu of Qin to join Qin State was that Han Qian's interests were consistent.

Zhu Zhiwu said: "Qin and Jin besieged Zheng Guo, and Zheng Guo already knew that he was about to perish!

If the state of Zheng is destroyed, it will not benefit the state of Qin, so it is worth bothering you to mobilize your troops.

However, Qin State is far away from Zheng State, and Jin State is close to Zheng State. If you cross other countries and set up border cities in the distance, can you control them for a long time?
If it is possible, the two countries of the Ji family are adjacent, how can you use Zheng to weaken the strength of the neighboring country?The weaker your neighbors are, the weaker you are. "

The reason why Uncle Sun Si came to the court to perform the bitter scene was because Qin Jin made me understand that Shu Hanqian's strength was weakened in successive civil strife, and Zhuanyu was in Sun's small camp Next to Fei Yi.

Therefore, even if the crusade against Zhuanyu is successful, Marquis Shulu will still gain some benefits, and it will only benefit Sun and Han Qian.

Shuji Sunsi turned his head and pondered for a while, it seems to be the reason.

In addition, Gong Lian's father's behavior in the civil strife was really kind, and my injuries were all good, so how could I forget that enmity?
Besides, from a moral point of view, it is indeed reasonable to crusade against Zhuanyu.

So Uncle Han Qianwu listened to Qin Jin's remonstrance, and felt that he was like Wang Si eating weights that time, and he was determined to hug Confucius' calf.

The master is arguing with reason under the court, how can my uncle Ji Sunsi lie dead outside the house?
Even if you want to lie down, you have to go to the hall and lie down!
After all, it's a statement!
